The success in delivering building projects relies upon establishing and communicating the client’s aspirations, fostering teamwork, choosing the suitable procurement route and managing the key project risks.  This success is often measured by a number of criteria: time, cost, quality and suitability.

We are experienced in creating and motivating teams, and in driving forward the management and execution of building projects from inception to completion.

Our role as project manager is usually independent of the professional team responsible for design and procurement of the scheme, but frequently extends to fulfilling the role of contract administrator. This involves preparing the design and specification for the works, seeking competitive tenders and overseeing implementation.

We regularly fulfil project management and contract administrator roles for a wide range of clients, with specific emphasis on refurbishment or redevelopment of commercial buildings

All construction and building works, from minor maintenance to new construction, require effective contract administration. We generally administer the works under a standard form of JCT Contract, which provides strict roles and requirements. How these are interpreted and implemented will makes a substantial difference to the success of the project.

We can ensure that appropriate control measures are incorporated into each project, including open and effective lines of communication to ensure that team responsibilities are clearly defined and understood.

We establish clear instruction processes, provide prompt resolution of issues or disputes and incorporate financial control.

Investors, Funders, Tenants and Stakeholders who are not responsible for the delivery of projects have limited control, but often have a significant interest within a development. These clients require their interests and possible risks to be protected.

Our role can extend from initial scrutiny of the proposed specification, contractual framework and transactional agreement, to monitoring the works on site and ensuring matters are concluded in an appropriate manner.

We have extensive experience in providing technical appraisal and in monitoring services which focus on our client’s specific risks and liabilities. Our aim is to ensure that, once identified, these risks are analysed, communicated and eliminated where possible. We also work to effectively minimise and manage any residual risks.

We are regularly appointed to provide early advice alongside legal teams, as well as to draw up or review Development Specifications. We deal with specific construction-related issues which may otherwise not be considered. Once the agreements are signed, we monitor the works and the developer’s teams’ performance on site.

We can provide design and specification services, either acting as lead consultant, through in-house expertise, or through managing other professional advisers on our client’s behalf. We provide these services for works ranging from maintenance to refurbishment, alterations, fit-out, extensions, and new construction.

We have years of experience working collaboratively and are committed to delivering design and specification on time, meeting budget and standards, and adding value to projects.
